Chapter 4

I'm sorry

I don't own inuyasha

As kagome continued to clean off his face she ran the cloth over his lips. She found herself stopping for a second then washed the side of his face. Inuyasha noticed and slightly blushed but the water was so cold you couldn't tell if it was just from the cloth or him. Inuyasha looked up at her. He couldn't tell anyone what is was about this girl that made him want to stop everything just to take care of her. He only had this feeling once in his life….with….

He quickly shook it from his mind. He told himself he would never speak of her. He had tried so hard to save her but….

"Inuyasha? Are you alright?" he snapped out of his thoughts and looked up at kagome.

"What?" she put the cloth down.

"You started to ball your fists and growl. Is everything alright?" inuyasha hadn't even noticed. He was so in thought he forgot she was there.

"Everything's fine. Kagome?" she looked at him with those blue eyes.

"Why do you work for naraku?" kagome knew this would come up sooner or later. She didn't like lying to people but if she didn't then naraku would kill souta.

"I need the money…..and….to take care of my brother." Inuyasha looked at her. She wouldn't look at him back so he knew she was lying.

"Kagome, there are better ways to get money other then stripping at a club." Kagome clenched her hand around a blanket.

"I know, but I don't have much of a choice. I had to drop out of high school, because my parents were killed. I was the only one to take care of souta and I didn't want him to go to foster care. Naraku was nice enough to offer me a job. I didn't want to at first but I got use to it…" she started to tear up a little but quickly whipped them away.

"Kagome, if you need money I can always lend it to you." She shook her head no.

"I couldn't take it from you. I'm perfectly happy at the club. I have friends there." Inuyasha looked at her strait in the face, but this time she looked back with lines of tears in her eyes.

"Kagome, you can't be happy there." Kagome stood up and walked around the table.

"Well I am. Naraku treats me with respect along with all the other girls. Can we just drop this?" she said as she started to walk away. Inuyasha got up and grabbed her arm turning her around.

"Why are you always running away from me?" he said sternly as she didn't show much of an emotion.

"I'm trying to help you." She pulled her arm away from him and walked into the bed room.

"I don't need your help; I don't need anyone's help! I can take care of myself!" she walked over to the window and looked out over the streets.

"And what about your brother?" inuyasha started to get really pissed off at this girl. He was almost yelling at her now.

"Don't you dare bring him into this." Kagome whipped around and stared at him with arms crossed.

"It seems that is how this all started, with your brother! Is you brother working for naraku too!" inuyasha yelled at her. He didn't know he was yelling but both of there voices had just gotten louder and louder over the time of the conversation.

"I'm doing this to project my brother from Naraku! …….." kagome went silent after she said that. It had slipped out. Kagome quickly turned around and started to cry and she slid to the floor.

"What did you say?" inuyasha walked over to her.

"Nothing….forget it…" inuyasha grabbed her arm and turned her towards him.

"No, what do you mean protect him from naraku? What is Naraku doing to him?" kagome shook her head and covered her ears still crying.

"Kagome I can help you, if you just tell me what he is doing!" kagome shook her head.

"NO! He'll get hurt…." She tried to run to the bathroom but inuyasha ran after her and grabbed both of her arms.

"KAGOME! I'm her to help you! Tell me!" she started to sob as she pushed forward into his chest and cried. Inuyasha sighed and tried to calm down. He slowly let go of her arms and wrapped his arms around her, holding her close to him. His one weakness was a crying girl, and there was one right in his arms. He couldn't think of anything to do but comfort her. She started to slowly stop crying, but you could still hear sniffing from her.

"Kagome….I just don't want to see you hurt…" kagome turned her head to the side and

whipped her eyes.

"I've seen that once before and I don't feel like going through losing another woman in my life." Kagome raised her head up and looked up at him.

"Why are you doing some much for me when you just met me?" Inuyasha looked into her eyes and saw the stars shimmering. She seemed so innocent, and sweet. Inuyasha couldn't help himself. Her sweet shimmering face and lips caught him and he lowered his to hers. He kissed her softly and ended it shortly after. Kagome looked up at him in slight shock.

"I…sorry…I shouldn…" Inuyasha didn't get to finish his sentence as kagome pushed her finger to his lips then raised hers to his. Inuyasha was shocked that she would return his kiss. He didn't want to push it, but she did and deepened the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he pulled her close to him. She slightly moaned quietly as they moved closer to the bed. Inuyasha hadn't a thought in his mind at the time. He picked kagome's legs up around him and laid her down on the bed as he kissed down her neck. He went back up to her lips and there tongued started there own little war, as kagome's hands found his ears. Inuyasha moved to her stomach and was feeling the middle of her back.

The fun was interrupted when kagome's cell phone went off in her back pocket. They both sighed as inuyasha rolled over and she sat up and walked into the other room to answer the call. Inuyasha sat up and watched her walk out of the room. He ran his hand through his hair and started to think. She still smelled pure. Naraku hadn't touched her yet, and he wanted to keep it that way.

'Maybe this should wait…' inuyasha thought as he laid back into his bed.

Kagome was in the other room talking on the phone with someone. She didn't sound very happy, and was slightly shaking.

"Please….leave him alone….I'll…" Her voice was shaking and she couldn't hold the phone still.

"You have until tomorrow morning." Kagome gulped.

"Let me talk to souta." Kagome heard a boy yelling and telling him to get off him.

"Souta?" a younger boy's voice came on the phone sounding very scared and angry.

"Kagome? How much longer until we can get out of here?" kagome let a small tear roll down her face.

"Soon. I almost have enough money to pay him our debt. Just hold on, okay?" she said sweetly.

"I want to go home, kagome!" kagome whipped away the newly forming tears.

"I know, I do too. I love you." She heard the phone being taken away from the boy.

"Remember you have until tomorrow. Or Souta will be with your parents." The line went dead. Kagome sat on the couch in the living room for a couple minutes before she pulled herself together and walked back into the bedroom.

"Who was on the phone?" inuyasha asked sitting up.

"Naraku…" she said quietly to him and she walked over and stood in between his legs.

He wrapped his arms around her.

"Do you want to go to the station with me tomorrow and do anything about naraku?" inuyasha asked as she put her arms on his shoulders.

"I do….but I want to get souta away from him first…" inuyasha lowered his head.

"I'll help." Kagome shook her head no.

"This is my problem…" she tried to walk away from him but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to him and gave her a sweet kiss on the lips.

"Kagome, I'm helping you even if you don't want me too. I'm not going to let you get hurt by that man." She smiled.

"He has never touched you has he?" kagome looked down and shook her head. He sighed.

"Let's keep it that way." She smiled as he grabbed her hand.

"It's late. I should get home." Kagome said as she looked at the clock.

"Just stay her tonight; I'll drive you home in the morning. Besides, you probably need to wake up every couple hours because you might have a concussion." Kagome looked at him.

"Why do you care so much?" inuyasha smirked.

"I'm not sure, you did something to me." Inuyasha stood up and walked over to his closet pulling out a very large t-shirt. He threw it at her and she put it down as she started to strip her clothes to put it on. Inuyasha didn't notice this until he turned around to her her naked back. He blushed and turned back around.

"Umm…You can sleep in here, I'll take the couch." Kagome crawled into bed and motioned for him to join her.

"We are just going to sleep; besides I don't want to kick you out of your bed." He smiled as he stripped to his boxers and crawled into bed. Kagome crawled close to him and laid her head on his chest.

"I have only known you two days and I'm already sleep in your bed with you." They both laughed as it quieted and they fell asleep. Actually…Inuyasha fell asleep. Kagome was still thinking about what she had to do while he was sleeping…

'Please forgive me.'
